Totally miserable at being overdue - anyone else?

[LPF]

I'll be a week overdue tomorrow with induction booked for Friday if required.

Have BHs when I'm sat on the sofa but that's all, had a sweep on Thursday - just a bit of blood but nothing else..... People are so shocked I'm still pregnant they make me feel like it's something I've done wrong.....

I've been on mat leave for 6 weeks now and I'm so fed up of sitting on the sofa (have really bad swelling now so can't be on my feet much)

I'm terrified of being induced and having to be in hospital on my own.....

Just feel sad and miserable about the whole thing.....

I'm two days overdue and getting pretty frustrated already! Had a sweep Thursday and another one Monday.

Hope things happen for you soon!

hi 11 days over due an in hospital now for induction keep your chin up girls there still time for it to start on its own yet x

Feeling your pain. 5 days over myself and not a sign in sight. Just increasing insomnia, heartburn, needing to wee and other crap pregnancy symptoms. Had a sweep 3 days ago - did nothing, except perhaps lost some more plug but seems to mean nothing. My longed for lovely maternity leave starting to feel a bit like prison now too.

Totally agree, big fear of being induced and not being able to use the midwife unit I want (which also means DH not being able to stay the whole time).

Fx something happens for all of us soon! Do u have any signs? X

No signs at all really - the odd twinge of backache or period pain but is gone as quick as it's started. I'm in agony at night because I'm so uncomfy so I wake up thinking 'this is it' then realise it's my usual pelvic pain!!! Baby is only 3/5 engaged as well.....

I work in the hospital so I'm very phobic of being a patient and just wanted to be in and out. I'm also VERY needle phobic so the prospect of drips, hooks etc and staying in for days is making me feel sick. I can't refuse though as I'm sort of 'pre' preeclampsia....

I've been very emotionally stable throughout and now just feel sad and tearful and I really didn't want to start resenting this pregnancy and all the horrible things you have to go through even though I know it will be worth it.

I am now 8 days late and going bonkers. Midwife tried to do a sweep on monday and my cerxix was still high firm and closed, so she could not even do one!! bumps head is still only 4/5 so I really dont think I am going to get anywhere till I am induced on wednesday.
I am sick of walking, and stinking of garlic from all the curry :0
